Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring the legs straddle the mounting surface. 2. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs, finger-tightening initially. 3. Using appropriate wrenches, tighten the nuts evenly in an alternating pattern to achieve the specified torque, ensuring the pipe is held securely without deformation.
